Lonesome valley she calls my name
leads me back home once again
saint or sinner you can't hardly tell
who's got time for heaven or hell
Lonesome valley she spreads her wings
she circles 'round me and so she brings
constant sorrow and kisses sweet
these contradictions, they hurt my feet
Lonesome valley
she sets me free
she brings my baby back to me
this fiddle music with it brings
lovers hanging from a string
Lonesome valley and played out mines
play tricks on you all the time
ghostly voices down below
singing sweetly because they know
oh the dead don't leave here
they just hang around
there's a party raging underground
saint or sinner you can't hardly tell
who's got time for heaven or hell
